Yeshi, my wife, passed away on 20 September after a sudden heart attack. She was 73 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 October. I have already used what I had for the hospital bills. My family is scattered, and many of us are out of work. We want Yeshi to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a local food bank. Where the $650 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $370 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $150 • Transport of the deceased: $60 • Memorial gathering for the family: $70 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Marta
